#FoodTVChat with Tommy Walton finalist on Master Chef 6 aka The Culinary Fashionista was a blast! Oh yes, we knew it was going to be and the always charming Tommy Walton did not disappoint!
We were also so happy to have Amanda Saab Tommy’s fellow Master Chef contestant and our #FoodTVChat guest chef from several weeks ago join Tommy for the chat.
And as always, were delighted that Food Network All Star Academy Alums Sharon Damante and Sherri Williams found time to drop into #FoodTVChat. Sherri was in California competing in the Gilroy Garlic Festival.
If you were not able to make #FoodTVChat last week the full stream is here and we have our highlight recap #FoodTVChat with Tommy Walton below—
